LODI - California Highway Patrol officers on Thursday used a stun gun to subdue a man who kicked out two windows of a patrol car and tried to escape, authorities said.

Officers responded to the scene of a vehicle collision about 10 p.m. near North Thornton and Devries roads. They spotted the driver, 23-year-old Oscar Mata, walking away from the scene, the CHP said. Mata became combative after being handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car and spat at officers, authorities said. He kicked out the right rear window and then the left, trying to escape both times, officials said.

Mata was arrested and taken to the San Joaquin County Jail, officials said. No officers were hurt, the CHP said.
